I heard a sunday school teached rattle of the above statement last sunday and was quite amazed at the thought of it.

Unlike you I very lazily did a searched an internet search engine and came upon your article. I did feel sad that the wrong information is being spread. I wondered how the little children would think once they found out that they were given wrong information.

Thanks for the info!

Good Job, David! It's good to know there are some people out there who still do a little research and don't just believe everything they see on the internet, especially when it involves the Bible! Hats off to you sir for doing your homework.

Ah. the most important to me is how we do it into the life. Shall we be affraid or surrender to His protection to overcome the fear . No matter how many time the bible says about it.

Okay, I found the answer. For King James, you need to use something like "fear not". :)

For the others, the word "dont" does not occur in their text and any search with words that do not exist would return no hits. E.g. "zzzz" "do not fear" on any resource that hasn't got a word "zzzz" will somehow return no hits.

To search the KVJ and get results you need to use King James English. Something along the lines of "thou shalt not..." ;)

Not sure what the story with the other two translations is, have you reached the limit? Accordance Help says that "Up to 50 verses of a text, or 50 paragraphs of a tool are displayed" on the Right Pane. :)

The keywords fear and afraid are not be enough in the search. If I add: do not be terrified, not revered, etc, I can get some more result. So, I believe we need to add more conditions with different English words in order to get the 365 result.

Now:

The ' in don't is blocking the other translations.

Those translations do not [don't :-)] have contractions in their dictionary lists so you get a dialog box trying to find the word you are looking for.

They phrase:

'Be not afraid'

— no chance to find it with the search you tried.

Good guess, Brandon, but I'm afraid that's not it. Those Bibles are included in my group.

I think it is b/c that is a group of English Bibles you set up, so if you did not add them to the group, then they would not show up.
